EagleCam winning hearts and fans

EagleCam, a camera trained on the nest of two American bald eagles, Liberty and Justice, has attracted a legion of followers across the globe as viewers awaited the hatching of two eaglets. The blessed event occurred over the weekend.

The webcam was established by EarthCam, a global leader in delivering webcam content, technology and services. EarthCam was founded in 1996 and now maintains a number of live streaming and time-lapse construction cameras that serve a diverse audience. Animal lovers have been flocking to Liberty and Justice’s EagleCam for a few weeks, waiting for the big event.

The eagles have been nesting and raising eaglets in the same Washington, D.C. area for the past 11 years. The webcam lets viewers watch the interaction between the adults and the chicks. It’s pretty spectacular and makes me long for the days of the Goose Cam on top of the old Contra Costa Times building.

The nest is located along the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. EarthCam teamed up with the Earth Conservation Corps to install the camera.
